Original Soundtrack

Time to celebrate a brand new, exceptional addition to the zombie genre with
Canadian director Bruce LaBruce’s latest oeuvre. Renouncing the most obvious
cliches, LaBruce lets his protagonist - gay punk zombie Otto – ramble and
roam the streets of Berlin until he finds himself cast for a low budget
flick. With a keen eye for style, the director picks and mixes references
from classic horror, silent movies and Modernity into a strident, yet poetic
film. In this, Otto; Or, Up With Dead People continues the tradition of the
political pornographer’s previous successes, The Raspberry Reich and Hustler
White.

Spoilt for choice: Otto features more than 50 international tracks and
sounds! After careful selection, Crippled Dick Hot Wax now presents the
movie’s official soundtrack (featuring 14 tracks and available on CD
(digipak) or limited double vinyl), promising to take us on a truly crazy
acoustic rollercoaster ride. Yet despite the artists’ glaring differences,
the result is a surprisingly coherent, compact and homogeneous compilation.
Weaving classical, electronic, drone, avantgarde, pop and punk/disco into a
well-balanced whole, the soundtrack introduces cinema and music lovers alike
to the weirdly wonderful world of Bruce LaBruce.
